Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

“The tax return is prepared by an outside accounting firm. After completion of said returns, the organization is sent a draft of the tax returns to be reviewed and examined. The organization makes copies of the returns and distributes to those individuals charged with governance. Those individuals at that time can review and if applicable discuss any line items in the return with the accountant who has prepared the return. If all items are found to be acceptable, an affidavit is signed to authorize the outside accounting firm to process, sign and provide copies of the returns to be filed with the designated governmental agencies. Before the tax returns are filed, a final tax return copy is forwarded to all Board members. The tax returns are then signed by the organization, stamped with certified return receipt and timely placed in the mail for filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12C: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts

“All CJA board members and employees are required to fill out a conflict of interest disclosure annually.

IRS990/Desc0CJA is the leading U.S.-based organization pursuing international human rights abusers through litigation. CJA has litigated cases against human rights violators from Bosnia, Cambodia, Chile, China, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Indonesia, Peru, Somalia and the United States. Additionally, CJA participates in other cases of importance to the human rights community by authoring amicus briefs in human rights cases in the U.S. and Spain as well as cases before multi-lateral jurisdictions such as the Inter-American and European Courts of Human Rights. CJA engages in impact litigation. Our cases address human rights abuses ranging from those committed by the Siad Barre dictatorship in Somalia, to the genocide of over 200,000 Mayans in Guatemala, to the atrocities committed by the Khmer Rouge regime which was responsible for the deaths of more than 1.7 million people in Cambodia. CJA also works on human rights policy efforts in the U.S. We focus particular attention on supporting initiatives that advance the U.S. governments commitment to criminally prosecute human rights abusers. CJA works on an ongoing basis with U.S. and foreign law enforcement on deportation, extradition and denaturalization of perpetrators when appropriate. CJA works directly with NGOs and governments around the world on transitional justice initiatives. We work alongside in-country prosecutors to hold human rights abusers criminally accountable in national courts, especially where defendants in CJAs cases have been deported or extradited to stand trial in the home country. CJA attorneys provide expertise in witness preparation and testimony, introduction of evidence, and framing charges for human rights crimes.CJA partners with pro bono law firms to litigate our cases. During the 2013-14 fiscal year, CJA worked with 24 law firms which donated over 5,993 hours of services valued at approximately $3,197,653. In addition, these firms contributed $91,732 to cover professional out-of-pocket expenses. Moreover, CJA leverages numerous partnerships with leading human rights law clinics; forensic, military and country experts; survivor coalitions; medical professionals; torture treatment centers; and frontline, in-country NGOs. These partnerships are foundational to our success in investigating and gathering evidence for new cases, communicating with key constituencies, locating plaintiffs, and ensuring that torture survivors receive critical medical, psycho-social and legal services.CJA is one of the few international human rights NGOs with a base of clients willing and able to speak out publicly against mass atrocities. At the heart of CJAs mission lies the belief that survivors themselves are the most effective spokespeople against torture, genocide and other abuses. CJA integrates survivors into our media and public education strategies at every level and devotes considerable resources to supporting clients who, as the result of participating in litigation, are galvanized to dedicate more time and energy to anti-impunity efforts within their communities and home countries. Because of our client-centered approach, we are also members of the National Consortium of Torture Treatment Programs and the California Consortium of Torture Treatment Centers.The impact of CJAs cases can be measured in at least five important ways: 1) the deterrent effect that cases have on potential and actual human rights abusers; 2) the development of a body of international human rights law jurisprudence; 3) the use of the cases around the world as a catalyst for building a constituency for transitional justice, accountability, and the rule of law; 4) the therapeutic benefit that torture survivors experience as a result of participating in litigation to seek justice; and 5) the historic record of truth our cases create.
